There is evidence of a Pā on the north bank of Lucas Creek. Its Maori name is thought to be Kaipatiki, which translates to 'the feeding ground of the flounder’.
Lucas Creek forms the eastern boundary of the suburb and is named after Daniel Clucas, a flax miller and landholder settled here in the early 1840s.[1]
By the late 1880s it had become a fruit-growing area. [3]
Lucas Heights is included in the demographics for Pāremoremo.[4]
